Happy students who participated in Rick Janzen's distressed signage workshop earlier this year.

Thanks to the industriousness of Dale Pidlisny and the Better Letters Company (posted about previously here), Calgarians with steady hands and a love of lettering are in for a treat! A Better Letters workshop with local signpainter Rick Janzen is scheduled for June 28-29 right here in Calgary.

Rick has decades of experience in film and TV, heritage reproductions and commercial sign painting. His filmography includes Return to Gunsmoke and Brokeback Mountain to more recent films like Inception and Hell on Wheels.

Head over to Rick's blog to read how he transformed Calgary's Heritage Park into a movie set.

"A short trailer for a documentary that I'm working on. It's about how the digital age has changed the sign industry and how it's made the art of hand lettering obsolete."

Space is limited to a dozen students, so register today to secure your spot!
